Ayes -15. Noes -0. Carried.
Mr. Murray, Chairman of the Legislative Committee, sub-
mitted the following report of that committee:
The committee recommends that favorable action be taken
upon Assembly Bill Int. No. 2590, amending Section 408 of
the County Law. This section as written requires that all
purchases involving an expenditure of more than $1,000
shall be by contract let to the lowest responsible bidder after
public; advertisement. The amendment excludes from this re-
quirement purchase of materials for highway construction
and maintenance and snow and ice control when the cost does
not exceed the rates applicable to the state for the purchase
of the same. The amendment also provides that where there
are competitive bids for different makes of machinery or
equipment, the lowest responsible bid with respect to any
make may be accepted.
The committee recommends that favorable action be taken
upon Assembly Bill Int. No. 2589, amending Section 200 of
the County Law relating to the compensation of members of
the Board of Supervisors. The amendment authorizes the
Board to pay an additional amount to a member of the Board
who is designated as Budget Officer.
With respect to Assembly Bill Int. No. 2588, which amends
Section 201 of the County Law by permitting the compensa-
tion of county officers to be increased during their term of
office, the committee feels that this should be permitted only
to the extent of authorizing cost of living adjustments. In
other 'words, the committee feels that the Board should be
March 12, 1951 41
free at any time to adjust compensation of county officers by
means of emergency compensation and does not favor the
policy of permitting general increases in salary during the
term of office.
The committee recommends the enactment of Assembly Bill
Int. No. 2230, which provides that no person shall be required
to possess a college or university degree or college or univer-
sity training or equivalent educational requirement in order
to hold the position of case worker in the Welfare Department,
The committee is opposed to the enactment of Assembly Bill
Int. No. 2087, which provides for fees to the County Treas-
urer for services as appraiser in transfer tax proceedings.
The committee feels that the compensation of the County
Treasurer should be in the form of salary or cost of living ad-
justment, without extra fees for particular services.
The committee recommends the enactment of Assembly Bill
Int. No. 2671, which would make it optional with Boards of
Supervisors to make the office of Commissioner of Public
Welfare an appointive office rather than an elective office ; and
since the committee considers this more important than any
of the other matters, it presents a resolution for the adoption
of this recommendation.
Resolution No. 30 Approving Legislation To Make The Of-
fice of Commissioner of Welfare Ap-
pointive
Mr. Murray offered the following resolution and moved its
adoption :
Resolved, upon the recommendation of the Legislative Com-
mittee, that this Board approves and urges the enactment of
Assembly Bill Int. No. 2671, Print No. 2820, which gives the
Board of Supervisors power to provide by local law that the
office of County Commissioner of Public Welfare shall be ap-
pointive.
Seconded by Mr. Wilkinson. Carried.
42 March 12, 1951
Resolution No. 31 Purchase of County Car
Mr. Conley offered the following resolution and moved its
adoption :
Resolved, that the Purchasing Committee, be authorized to
purchase for the sheriff's department one 1951 Chevrolet de-
luxe, 2 door sedan, equipped with 105 horsepower engine,
power glide transmission and special rear axle, and including
airflow heater, spot light, seat covers, heavy duty springs,
heavy duty 40 amp generator and 19 plate battery at a price
of $1803.65. The allowance on the 1948 Chevrolet 2 door sedan
to be traded is $815.00 making the net bid price on this
unit $988.65.
Seconded by Mr. VanDeBogart. Carried.
Mr. Edward R. Eastman, Editor of the American Agricul-
turist and a member of the Board of Regents of New York
State appeared before the Board stressing the need for the
training of school children along local levels of government.
He deprecated the lack of interest in politics shown on the
local level and cited a recent instance in which students failed
to know the names of their own supervisors although they
knew the names of national representatives. He urged super-
visors to attend their local school meetings and to encourage
their constituents to do likewise, thereby enjoying the oppor-
tunity for individuals to be heard in matters pertaining to
their every day lives.
Resolution No. 32 Approval of County Sealer's Bond
Mr. Vail offered the following resolution and moved its
adoption :
Resolved, that the undertaking of the County Sealer in the
amount of $1,000 executed by Carl Roe as Principal and the
Glens Falls Indemnity Company as Surety being No. 465257,
be and the same hereby is approved as to amount, form, man-
ner of execution and the sufficiency of the surety.
Seconded by Mr. Walpole. Carried.
Mr. Shoemaker, Chairman of the Tax Sales, Erroneous
March 12, 1951 43
Assessments and Returned Taxes Committee, reported on the
Billing's property in the town of Danby, and suggested that
a survey be made to enable the county to sell, thus return-
ing the property to the tax roll.
Mr. Conley moved that the committee arrange with Carl
Crandall to make a survey of the Billing's property in the
town of Danby.
Seconded by Mr. Ozmun. Carried.

tee, reported that Ben Sanford would serve as assistant to

Mr. Vail, Chairman of the Insurance Committee, reported
that the insurance company requested a revaluation of the
county buildings and that it must be made before the next
board meeting.
Discussion followed.
Mr. Vail moved that the board as a whole approve the
filing of a new statement of values on county buildings, not
greater than a 20% increase as quoted by the insurance en-
gineer.
Seconded by Mr. Conley. Carried.
. Messrs. Downey, Walpole and Conley reported on a trip
they made to Syracuse in regard to conditions of state roads
in Tompkins County and found the state officials in sympathy
with the problems as confronted by highway officials.
Mr. Downey then reported on a trip he made to Albany in
regard to construction or reconstruction of highways in Tomp-
kins County for 1951. He found that a very few miles of roads
would be improved this year due to lack of funds.
Mr. Conley moved that the county purchase two desks and
chairs for the civil defense office for the sum of $381.
Seconded by Mr. Walpole.
44 March 12, 1951
Discussion followed and the motion was lost by voice vote.
Mr. Bower moved that the matter of desks for civil de-
fense be left with the Civil Defense and Purchasing commit-
tees
ommittees to secure desks and chairs at a more reasonable figure
if possible.
Seconded by Mr. Ozmun. Carried.

some of which is due to present legislation, and it was gener-

fare recipients was an unjust drain on taxpayers, and that
such payments should be limited to the need.
Particular indignation was expressed at the present law ,
which eliminates the necessity for relatives to be "willing"
to aid in the support of persons seeking welfare help.

The Budget Director read his Budget message to preface

November 15, 1951 211
BUDGET MESSAGE
To the Board of Supervisors of Tompkins County
As your Budget Director I am submitting a tentative budget
which in the main complies with your reports upon the esti-
mates made by our various departments for the year 1952.
This is the largest budget Tompkins County has ever had.
The gross budget is $3,390,361.29 with the estimated revenues
to be used against the budget of $1,983,623.34.
As the State has demanded that all counties follow the same
uniform system as set up in their budget manual, it has been
necessary for us to make a complete change in the form of
our budget. To me it seems harder to understand and more
complicated than our old budget.
This budget I believe is a complete budget which will be
adequate for the coming year. As the Hospital budget has not
yet been submitted to the Board of Supervisors by the Health
Coordination Committee, I have included in the tentative
budget the estimates as presented by the Board of Managers.
The State requires that all the estimated surplus of Dec. 31,
1951 be used to lower the budget. Therefore on the recommen-
dation of our County Treasurer, Don Stobbs, I have included
in this budget a Reserve for Tax and Revenue Anticipation
Fund for $250,000 which will be taken out of surplus. This will
require endorsement by the Board of Supervisors. This fund
is a fund from which the Treasurer can borrow until taxes
come in. Then the money is put back in this fund until another
year. In other words, it is the nearest to a working capital
we are allowed to have.
The net budget is $1,066,464.02 or about $24,000 higher
than last year's final budget but the increased assessed valua-
tion of our county should lower the county tax rate a few
cents. For the first time our estimated County Road Fund
Surplus and Machinery Fund Surplus are used to lower the
budget.
I am filing a copy with our Clerk, Mrs. Buckingham, and
also have copies for our Finance Committee and other mem-
bers of the Board.
Respectfully submitted,
(Signed) Harvey Stevenson
212 November 15, 1951
A copy of the above mentioned budget was filed with the
office of the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors.
Following distribution of the tentative budget the Budget
Director reviewed it briefly for the Board.
Mr. Wilkinson questioned the necessity for supporting both
the County Director of Veterans Agency and the office of the
County Service Officer.
The county treasurer who was present was asked for his
opinion of both offices and he stated that he believes that
the duties of the offices do not overlap since Mr. Knettles
handles claims, while Mr. Holman's office deals with on-the-
job training, reemployment, etc., and that the offices refer
veterans to the other office when necessary.
General discussion followed and Mr. Wilkinson offered the
following motion :
Moved that the County Service Officer be reclassified and
called the Deputy County Director and all materials, supplies
and expenses be implemented as may be determined.
Seconded by' Mr. Conley.
Some opposition was expressed to the wording of the mo-
tion which suggested the County Service Officer become Dep-
uty County Director, whereupon Mr. Wilkinson reworded the
motion with the approval of the second to read :
Moved that the County Service Officer shall be assigned to
;the County Director Agency and all materials, supplies and
,,expenses shall be implemented as may be determined.
Discussion followed and Mr. Vail moved that the question
be referred to the Veteran's Committee and the Committee on
Civil Service and Salaries to try to find a satisfactory solution.
;Seconded by Mr. Bower. Carried.

Mr. Harvey Stevenson, Chairman
Board of Supervisors
Court House
Ithaca, New York
Dear Mr. Stevenson :
At a meeting of the Board of Managers last evening the
following resolution was passed :
Whereas: the Board of Managers has given detailed and
extended consideration to establishing fair allowance for op-
erating the hospitial in the year 1952 ; and
Whereas: the Administration has undertaken to put into
effect economies so as to reduce the budget below the amount
which would have been required by the increases in salary
rates and cost levels ; and
November 20, 1951 215
Whereas: this program has been reflected in the budget to
the full extent which the Board of Managers deems prudent
in the light of maintaining standards which the community
considers essential ; and
Whereas: the Hospital's Budget of Expenses after taking
into account anticipated revenues will result in a smaller
charge to the taxpayers of Tompkins County than the 1951
budget
Therefore, Be It Resolved, that the Board of Managers re-
submits the hospital budget in the amount of $883,538 for
consideration by the Board of Supervisors.
Motion was made by Mr. Maxfield, seconded by Mr. Thomas
and passed.
Very truly yours,
IRENE E. OLIVER

REPORT OF EQUALIZATION COMMITTEE FOR APPOR-
TIONMENT OF GENERAL AND HIGHWAY TAX LEVIES
FOR THE YEAR 1952
To the Board of Supervisors of Tompkins County, N. Y.
Your Committee on Equalization reports that they have
examined the assessment rolls of the several tax districts in
the County of Tompkins, for the purpose of ascertaining
whether the valuation in one tax district bears a just relation
to the valuations in all the tax districts in the county; that in
the opinion of the members of the committee such valuations
do not bear such just relations to the valuations in all the tax
districts of the county, and your committee would recommend
that the valuations of the several tax districts, in order that
they may bear such just relations, be increased or diminished
according to the following statements so as to make the ag-
gregate equalized valuations as indicated in the tabular state-
ment below.

And Be It Further Resolved, that to meet the foregoing
appropriations the County Treasurer be and he hereby is au-
thorized and directed to transfer the sum of $20,000.00 from
the account of Home Relief to the account for Old Age Assis-
tance (including burials), and to transfer the sum of $500.00
from the account of Home Relief to the account for Payments
to other Welfare Districts—Hospital Care.
Seconded by Mr. Conley. Carried.
Mr. Downey advised the Board that it currently appears
there will be a considerable sum, possibly as much as $30,000
to turn back from the Welfare Department into county funds.
Mr. Conley spoke briefly concerning the Emergency Corps
boys under the age of 21, who have been assisting the sheriff's
department and the City of Ithaca by helping to direct traffic.
He raised the question that in case of injury to these boys
the county might be faced with expensive litigation and dam-
ages.
He further reminded that these minors can not legally re-
lease the county of responsibility in case of accident while on
duty.
228 November 23, 1951
Mr.- Conley moved that the Courts and Correction com-
mittee investigate this matter.
Seconded by Mr. Wilkinson. Carried.
Mr. Conley added that he has no objection to these boys
helping if they are so inclined but he believes their welfare
should be safeguarded.
Mr. Downey, Chairman of the Finance Committee, an-
nounced the changes suggested by that committee in the ten-
tative budget as filed by the Budget Officer.
The Finance Committee offered the following:
REPORT OF FINANCE COMMITTEE ON HOSPITAL
BUDGET
After consideration of the Hospital Budget as submitted by
the Board of Managers of the Hospital and recommended by
the Health Coordination Committee, the. Finance Committee
reluctantly approved the said budget for incorporation in
the tentative county budget. The Committee believes that the
over-all cost of services is out of line with similar costs in
other comparable hospitals, and recommends that the Board
of Managers of the Hospital be requested to give this matter
their special attention in 1952 and to see what can be done
to reduce service costs before the next annual budget is sub-
mitted.
Resolution No. 141 Approval of Tentative Budget
Mr. Downey, Chairman of the Finance Committee, offered
the following resolution and moved its adoption :
Whereas, the Budget Director has prepared and filed a ten-
tative budget for the year 1952 pursuant to Article 7 of the
County Law
And Whereas the said tentative budget has been referred to
the Finance Committee which committee has made its report
recommending changes in certain items
Resolved, that this Board hereby approves the tentative
November 23, 1951 229
budget including all changes recommended by the Finance
Committee, for submission at the public hearing on November
28th and directs that copies thereof be made available to the
public as required by the County Law.
Seconded by Mr. Walpole. Carried.
Upon motion adjourned to 7 :30 p.m. Wednesday, November
28, when the public hearing will be held.
230 November 28, 1951
TWELFTH DAY
Wednesday, November 28, 1951
Roll call. All members present except Messrs. Vail, Gordon,
and Button.
Seven -thirty 'being the time advertised for the public hear-
ing on the tentative budget the deputy clerk read the notice
as published and the Chairman recessed the Board meeting.
The public hearing attracted approximately forty persons
and Mr. Downey, Chairman of the Finance Committee, read
each item included in the budget and all persons were accord-
ed an opportunity to be heard.
Representatives were present from the League of Women
Voters, the Hospital, the parent's group interested in hospital
children's care and social workers. There were also present
heads of county departments to answer questions relating
to their personal fields.
Dr: William C. Spring, Jr. spoke briefly and stressed the
irritation caused in his department by having salaries in the
Health Department published while salaries in other depart-
ments in the county were not given publicity.
It was recommended from the floor that similar work in the
county should call for similar pay and that pay schedules
from all departments should be shown in future'tentative bud-
gets.
Attention was focused on the need for a nurse in the chil-
dren's ward at all times for the care of the patients and to
quiet their fears, even though the number of patients may be
small. It was stressed that a child's disquiet needs reassurance.
Mr. Conley, member of the Board of Supervisors, read a
prepared statement in which he cited the higher costs in the
Tompkins County Memorial Hospital compared with ten other
comparable hospitals in this state as compiled by the Blue
Cross Survey.
November 28, 1951 231
He emphasized the need for the Board of Managers and
the Hospital Administrator to make a sincere and concerted
effort to reduce expenses in the coming year. He pointed out
that "we can not go on adding $40,000 per year to the budget
for hospital services."
Said statement filed with the Clerk of the Board of Super-
visors.
It was pointed out from the floor that because of the in-
efficient arrangement of the hospital nursing was difficult.
At 10 P.M. the public hearing was dismissed and the Board
arose from recess and adjourned to 10 A.M., Thursday, : No-
vember 29, 1951.
232 November 29, 1951

mun, Button and Wilkinson.
The Clerk read a letter from Harry Sena, an attorney from
New York City, commending the sheriff and his deputies and
the Tompkins County Memorial Hospital staff of supervisors,
nurses and medical staff for the courtesy, sympathy and con-
sideration extended him and his family during the month of
October as a result of an accident on Route 96 near Danby,
N. Y. when his car skidded striking an electric pole crushing
his wife to death and injuring him.
Moved by Mr. Conley that a copy of Mr. Sena's letter be
made and sent to the sheriff and the Tompkins County Me-
morial Hospital.
Seconded by Mr. Downey. Carried.
The Clerk noted a letter from Lester W. Fowler, Executive
Secretary of the Supervisors' Association, stating that the
annual winter meeting would be held in the Onondaga Hotel
in Syracuse on January 16 and 17th.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE
COUNTY PROBATION OFFICER AND
CLERK OF THE CHILDREN'S COURT
OF TOMPKINS COUNTY, FOR 1951
To the Board of Supervisors :
While the number of formal cases handled in the Tompkins
County Children's Court remained about the same as in recent
years and the total of probationers supervised in Supreme,
County, Justice of Peace, and Children's Courts varied only
slightly from prior years, the amount of support collected for
dependent children from the parents of broken homes showed
its usual annual increase during the last year, 1951.
Final support total of $67,323.28 as of Dec. 31; 1951, was
more by $4,694.03 than the 1950 total and $11,989.28more
than in 1949. Needless to say, every dollar collected in this
manner by the County Probation Department and turned
over to the custodians of dependent children, saves an equal
amount being expended -by the county welfare department in
aid to dependent children or public assistance. And of . the
1951 collection, the sum of $7,703.88 was paid overto the
Welfare Commissioner to reimburse for expenses of dependent
children_ placed in boarding homes and institutions, while in.
1950 the sum of $4,148.18 was thus paid to the County, an
increase of $3,555.70.
On Jan. 1, 1951 the- probation officer was collecting from
141 men and women, total 144, while on Dec. 31, 1951,
there were 155 -men and five women left on probation for the
payment of support for children, an increase during the year
of 16- cases. During the year collections were made for 191
different families, an increase of 'nine over, 1950.
Your probation officer believes that an assistant in the
office who could give undivided time to the collection of sup-
port funds would increase the amount of support collection.
about $10,000, and might easily save thewelfare department
a large part of .that sum now contributed as supplemental aid.
Personnel of the Children's Court and Probation offices con-
sists now of only two persons, the probation officer and clerk,
and one bookkeeper, typist and stenographer combined. Total
cost of operation of the two departments in 1951 was
$9,053.76, broken down as follows : Judge's salary • $3,000 ;
Tompkins County, New York 375
salary of probation officer.and clerk, $3,350.00; salary of typist
and bookkeeper, $2,490.00 ; office .expenses $213.76 out of a
budget of $700.00, resulting in $486.24 being turned back. to
the County.
There were 466 formal cases in Children's Court in 1951
as against 475 in 1950 and 516 in 1949. Delinquent children
numbered 46 in. 1951 as against 49. in 1950 and 61 in 1949, ,a
gradual decrease. Neglected children totaled 76 in 1951, 78
in 1950 and 63 in 1949. There were 70 physically handicapped
children's orders in 1951 as against 71 in 1950 and 89 in 1949.
In 1951 there were 253 men and 19 women haled before the
Court as against 257 men and 20 women in 1950 and 295 men
and eight women in 1949.
To begin the year 1951, the County Probation Department
was supervising a total of 235 persons,and the year ended
with 263 on the probation lists, an increase during the year of
28 cases. Children's Court had 36 boys, five girls, 141 men
and three women on probation to start the year and closed the
year with 40 boys, six girls, 155 men and five women on pro-
bation for an "increase of 21 cases. The Supreme and County,
Courts started the year with 40 men and five women on pro-
bation and closed the year with 45 men and fivewomen being
supervised for an increase of five cases. In Justices Courts an
increase of two cases -was noted, seven men being left on pro-
bation to start .the new year... ..

REPORT OF THE COUNTY HISTORIAN FOR 1951
To the Board of Supervisors
The County Historian herewith presents a summary of
his activities for the year 1951.
A project involving most of my time and effort as County
Historian was the publication of The Origin of Place Names
in Tompkins County.. Extensive research was made to in-
sure this publications historical accuracy, and it should pro-
vide a lasting source for factual information.
The Board of Supervisors by resolution dated April 9th
gave permission to the Tompkins County Chapter of the
Sons of the American Revolution to dedicate the existing
flagpole on the Court House grounds to be known as the,
Tompkins County Liberty Pole. It was so dedicated on April
19th in a ceremony in which local patriotic organizations
and citizens took part. The principal speaker on this occa-
sion was the Hon. James W. Wadsworth of Geneseo, former
U. S. Senator and Representative. A bronze tablet commem-
orating the event and donated by Clarence F. Morse, is
affixed to the flagpole base.
During the year the County Historian gave six lectures
on local history to various county organizations. Several brief
talks were given- to school groups who visited the Historical
Museum.
Replies were given to many requests received by mail for
historical information and likewise, many personal requests
were satisfied.

REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF PUBLIC
WELFARE FOR 1951
Chairman Stevenson and Members of the Board of Super-
visors:
I herewith make my report for the Department of Public
Welfare for 1951.
The only report I can make for the first six months is the
report shown by the figures, number of cases in each category
and the amount expended.
When my term, of office, began on June 15th I found an un-
healthy condition from perhaps different causes. In the Pub-
lic Welfare Division there were 180 cylinders not transcribed
and 100 in the Child Welfare Division. This meantthere were
several hundred cases without the history recorded. You were
kind to me and permitting my hiring extra help and the
necessary machines to catch this up. There is still some dicta-
tion not up to where it should be but in the next few months
it will be on a different basis and assistance in the regular
way will not be issued until the dictation is in. I do not know
how they have dared issue assistance as they have in the past.,
Beginning in July we started the repairs on -the outside of the
County Farm buildings and you have the report of the work
accomplished and the cost.
Probably the most disturbing issue the Department has had
in years is Bulletin 134 establishing a statewide uniform
budget under the orders of the State Department of Social
Welfare and the Government Division of Social Security. We
have not yet received approval for all sections but have most
of it underway. We are not sure how many employees are
going to be needed to effectively keep up the detail, and if we
are foolish enough to yield to all .they request, it will cost
an additional $100,000 so that the reductions your bodys
seen fit to make in our carefully figured budget estimate will
leave the Department in a very embarrassing position. The
table of expenditures will show we had an unexpended bal-
ance of $40,310.56 which was returned to the General Fund
balance December 31st.
The new standard accounting system is not going to re-
412 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors
lieve our detail if we can interpret the rules and find the
troubles other welfare " departments are having with their
county treasurers.
We have had several changes in personnel but I hope we are
now in position to have less worries after the examinations
for Social Workers are completed on March 1st. By July 1st
there should be an eligible list to fill the seven positions now
filled by provisional appointments.
The County Farm income estimated will show in the item-
ized figure reports. Under Mr. Exton's careful management we
are showing good returns, including what we use ourselves
in the support of the employees and inmates.
We are reorganizing our hospital billing for 1952and our
control of medical cases, drugs and hospital care and feel
sure, with the cooperation of the Tompkins County Medical
Society, we will affect a savings and better record.
I hope I may be able to make a complete report for 1952 and
show economy in administration and a lessening of relief costs
if we can keep down the applications. We know this is going
to be a big job as all costs are on the increase.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN H. POST

ship training.
American Red Cross First Aid—These classes were
continually held for Civil Defense volunteers through-
out the period.

422 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors
warning centers throughout Tompkins County.
Ground Observer exercises were .conducted on a
regional or larger basison the following dates :
February 10th & llth
April 14th
June 23rd &24th

improvements were effected. in the observation facili-
ties for ground observers, including new or reno-
vated buildings, heat, telephone, and improved ob-
servation facilities.
(3.) Training Exercises
1. A surprise command post exercise following a
"Yellow" alert was conducted at the County Court
House at 1 :00 P.M. Sunday, September 23rd, 1951,
and about 50 Civil Defense volunteers participated.
•It was assumed that Binghamton had been "bombed"
and Tompkins County had been requested to send
aid to the stricken area. _
2. On Saturday, October 6th, 1951, _ 149 Civil Defense
volunteers participated in a test exercise in Bing-
hamton, N. Y. The following services were represent-
ed : fire, rescue, medical, police, transportation and
welfare. This exercise proved most interesting and
instructive.
(4.) Operational Plans
The preparation of Operational Plans for the .em-
ployment of the Civil -Defense volunteers in Tomp-
kins County in the event of a disaster by far occupied
the major portion of the, time of this office for the
period Feb. lst to Nov. 15th, 1951. These plans have
been completed and submitted ' to the N.Y. State
Civil Defense Commission for approval. They will re-
quire constant change and revision.

(5.) General
a. The Director, the Chief of the Recruiting and Train-
ing Branch, the Chief of the Training Branch for
Educational Institutions and the Assistant Director
in charge of the Warden Service have made many
evening and afternoon addresses on Civil Defense
before various civic groups, including PTA groups,
throughout the county, such talks usually being
accompanied by slides and moving pictures.
b. Tompkins County was the first county to have on
display the Civil Defense Exhibit which appeared
at the New York State Fair in Syracuse in 1951.
This exhibit in the form of an open book, measur-
ing 9 feet high, and 18 feet across, was made up of
diagrams, photographs, and explanations of • the
Civil Defense program with special reference , to
the atomic bomb. Excellent publicity forthis ex-
hibit was given by the Ithaca Journal, the Syra-
cuse Post Standard and Radio Station WHCU.
c. The Louis Agassiz Fuertes Council Boy Scouts of
America and the Tompkins County Emergency
Corps have cooperated in the Civil Defense Pro-
gram so as to deserve special mention. The former
organization is prepared to furnish over 450 mes-
sengers and render other Civil Defense Services.
The latter organization is held in reserve and will
be employed in police work, first aid, communica-
tions or any one of many fields of activity for which
it is trained.
d. The Director, the Assistant- Director for Warden
Services and the Chief of the Recruiting and
Training Branch pursued a weeks' course of in-
struction at the Civil Defense Staff College in
Olney, Md. from Oct. 14th to 20th, 1951.
e. Throughout this period, the organizational "setup"
was made more complete, volunteers were notified
as to their assignments and correspondence and
files brought up to date.
f. On June 11th, 1951, Tompkins County became the.
424 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors
first county in New York State to fully cover all
Civil Defense volunteers by the Workmen's Com-
pensation Act while engaged in civil defense train-
ing or practice.
2. Future Activities
(a) Classes of Instruction
These classes will continue throughout 1952 for all
services as an untrained volunteer is a liability rather
than an asset.
(b) Command Post Exercises
These exercises will be conducted for "Key" per-
sonnel at the County Court House at 7 :30 P.M. on
the evenings of January 31st, February 28th, March
27th and April 24th.
(c) "OPERATION ITHACA"
This will be an all-inclusive Civil Defense test in-
volving most of the Civil Defense volunteers in the
County and will be conducted on May 24th, 1952. The
Director of the N.Y. State Civil Defense Commission
and members of his staff have been invited to attend.
3. Inspection
A representative of the N.Y. State Civil Defense Com-
mission inspected this headquarters on November 9th,
1951 and gave, in part, the following conclusions :
"`The organization and arrangement of the offices with
their files and records is the best seen yet.
It is plainly evident that Civil Defense has made an
excellent beginning here, is now well started and that
progress is being made."
4. Conclusion
In conclusion, it is desired to express the appreciation
Tompkins County, New York 425
of this headquarters, to the Mayor of the City of Ithaca,
to the Chairman of and to the County Board of Super-_
visors and to the Volunteers in Civil Defense for their
generous support, their interest and understanding in our
Civil Defense effort.
